full week 1 is in the books - we're pretty lucky.
the big one just has to go in every other day for her first period class which is gym for 2.5 hr. (lol) - so the other days she's home, she doesn't need to do anything (all afternoon classes are virtual anyways). good to have her home for lunch - less packing the night before lol.
period 2 class at school will be starting in a couple of weeks - will see how that fairs.
the little guy's slowly adjusting - got called out by the teacher on his 2nd day in school for not listening and then arguing at recess (reminds him to "use kind words" -- lord knows what he said)  great start
mask is optional for his grade; we made him put one on - he's been good with it (doesn't bother using the back up masks after lunch - he says he just yanks down the one from morning to his chin so he can eat -- good enough for me)
how's everyone else doing?

GTA school shutdown is coming for sure. lets hope not, and pray the measures they have put into place will help keep outbreaks small and within the same class if they do a school shutdown do they expect everyone to quit work and stay home with their kids? Can only prop up the economy so much
Listen. Do you hear it? It’s getting closer:
A Catholic elementary school in Barrhaven, a suburb of Ottawa, has been ordered to shut down for at least two week due to reported cases of COVID-19.

Thats normal and expected, what many people are saying is full shutdown for good, online learning only. Not sure how they would expect that to play out unless it was CERB money for everyone. The procedure is not much different for outbreaks at a companies, shutdown, thorough cleaning then re open after a couple weeks.

whats your point? this is bound to happen. It's per school. Other schools have had a couple cases in each class but the health unit decides how many students get infected before that class/school gets shut down, cleaned, rinse and repeat.

Im hearing rumblings that school will shut down by thanksgiving weekend. Ya one of our kid's teacher was saying he wouldn't be surprised if we shut down again by then.
A lot of people working within School Boards are sharing similar thoughts/feedback. And yet others are stating there is no way that the schools and other industries will shutdown again because of the impact it will have on the economy. The only question I have is, if so many people within the School Boards are voicing this, is there any planning going on in anticipation of this possibility?

The school board is the problem here, no guidance, no leadership, left the schools to fend for themselves. Planning? lol "unprecedented times bro" the script still works 6 months in

Wait until we get SOME kind of vaccine made available...
TP and hand sanitizer rush at the height of COVID? That'll be nothing compared to the vaccine run ...
Didn't it take five years to turn around the fastest vaccine? How comfortable are you to take this vaccine if its provided within a year or so? Some are saying the vaccine has been in the works for a few years now.
700 cases today boys. don't think they'll remain open.
Yes that definitely doesn't look good on the surface, but is that a result of the significantly more testing that's happening now versus earlier in the year?

I'm ok for school closures if parents are allowed to quit and apply for CERB without any issues. I'll gladly watch my kids and help them do home schooling.
Just borrow some more money

It's nice that you're so non-chalant about this, I think that general attitude will serve us well when this happens more and more in the coming weeks. It seems to have worked for Florida.
It's a balance...what do you want them to do? Already so many jobs that may not bounce back, nothing will be "back to normal" if they just shut down more and people have to quit or take extended leave there goes more potential jobs lost if they are not there when it "bounces back"
Theres no right answer here. When this first started people thought shutting down for 2 weeks would help....nooppppeee...what month is this now?

also, that 2 week "lockdown" at the beginning wasn't even a real lockdown. people were still going out and meeting up without masks and no social distancing and no enforcement. not surprised it didn't do much other than slow the spread for a bit.we went into phase 3 wayyyy too soon. and schools shouldn't haven't opened back either because they weren't properly prepared to.

its all about the awareness, even now you see they are still partying and younger generations are still not wearing masks, so not much has changed since the beginning lockdown.
I agree schools werent ready, but the pressure was mounting so they had to come up with a decisoion. Not everyone was able to work from home so what do they do with their kids? If the govt made it a little easier maybe the solution would have been thought out a little more
